'Shark Tank's STEMCenter Encourages Education Using Robots

S(Science) T(Technology) E(Engineering) M(Mathematics) areas have been in the headlines quite a bit recently and for good reason. These are vitally important areas to the future of America. Currently, there aren't enough qualified candidates to fill many of the open positions in the STEM areas. This shortage has ultimately led to a great deal of emphasis being placed on creating awareness and increasing training and education in the STEM areas. STEMCenter is one of the programs introduced to help create awareness and stimulate interest among students in STEM. The general focus is that through kinesthetic (hands-on) learning through the use of robots will help motivate students to pursue STEM careers. The program was recently featured on Shark Tank and the creators were able to secure a deal. How cool is that? I'm looking forward to seeing this program expand and continue to help shape the future of STEM. That's all for now, tune in next week for another amazing #techtuesday topic.
